👀 A Tennessee teacher is being accused of anti-Semitism for telling students how to "torture a Jew".
A mother filed a complaint with Hamilton County Schools in Chattanooga after learning that a teacher had been making "anti-Semitic comments", according to reports in local media.
Juniper Russo, who is Jewish and a member of the Mizpah congregation, said the incident occurred during a Bible history lesson. The teacher wrote on the blackboard an English translation of the Hebrew name for God, which is traditionally only written in the Torah and not spoken out loud.
"If you want to know how to torture a Jew, make them say this out loud," the teacher said, according to Ms Russo.
She said her 13-year-old daughter felt extremely uncomfortable hearing the teacher say those words and "didn’t feel safe" in the class.

The lawmakers said Iran's progress toward a nuclear arsenal can only be reversed with measures that go "far beyond" the JCPOA.

A Las Vegas high school student violently punched her classmate over 30 (!) times in the head while other students in the classroom watched and laughed.
A shocking video shows the suspect viciously attacking the girl, who raises her hands to protect herself. At one point another person, presumably a teacher, can be heard yelling, “Stop! Stop! Stop! Get off of her!”
Halfway through the clip, the beaten girl stops defending herself, putting her head on her desk. It is not known what condition she is in. The parents are furious as they believe that the local schools are not doing enough to protect their children from violent attacks and bullies.
The suspect has been charged with battery.

🇺🇸US Congresswoman Joyce Beatty accused fellow lawmaker Hal Rogers of poking her back and demanding she get on a train headed for the House floor after she told him to put on his mask.
Beatty said when she asked Rogers not to touch her, he allegedly responded “kiss my ass.”
Beatty and other Democrats called on Rogers to apologize for the alleged behavior, which Beatty called indicative of a larger problem with Republican members flaunting health and safety mandates.

“I'm just gonna take things as they come. I think that's the best way to put it and I don't think anything, you know, you never say never. At the same time, I know that... I feel very good about my decision. I don't know how I'll feel six months from now.”

The Biden Administration now says “conspiracy theories” about elections are the greatest threat to the homeland. Does the Department of Homeland Security include in its list of conspiracy theories the on tape irrefutable evidence of massive “Ballot Harvesting” in the Swing States? Do they include more votes than voters, and the fact that in Georgia thousands of duplicate votes were scanned and voter fraud was committed with 100-0 falsified vote counts for Joe Biden? Do they include in Wisconsin more than twice the election margin voted without ever showing Voter ID, which is illegal, or the widespread fraud uncovered in nursing homes? Or how 23,344 mail-in ballots were counted, despite the person no longer living at that address in Arizona, and that there was over 100% turnout for mail-in ballots in precincts in Pima County. What about the many violations of the Constitution, and the millions poured into Swing States by the Facebook CEO to hijack our elections?
The Biden Administration will do anything to keep the eye away from the massive irregularities and voter fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election, even so ridiculously as going after its own citizens as “terrorists” using DHS, which should instead be focusing on the Border, where millions of people, from places unknown, are pouring into our Country. They are so desperate to hide the truth, they’ll make it criminal to speak it!
